We have some major quibbling now – one lady is really raising her voice – now its an old mans turn. There are about ten people in the room and me in the corner trying to look like things don’t […]
Wow it was pretty intense in that shoot – they are professionals – they start slow, then throw themselves onto the ground, bang their chest and scream off the top of their lungs. Bash the ground, then throw themselves forward. […]
I can’t remember what was going on when I last posted so I’m just going to start talking from a few days ago! Been really hectic at Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum doing the de-stall of LabCraft with the […]
When you’re aware of things in your life potentially falling apart, you can go one way or the other – give up and go under, or go with the flow and somehow manage to keep your head above the water. […]
I’ve been looking at the photographs I took yesterday and I’ve had a little time to reflect now. There are some changes to be made and a lot more pieces to make this week but over all I think I’ve […]
Since the loss of the studio and gallery Annabel Tilley and I have been stacking up meetings all over the place. Firstly with our very understanding Fenton Art Trust and Local Arts Officer trying to secure all the funding we […]

Continuing with the same project these are prints i have developed in relation to the collages. The first Mahler, a rival of Wagner, and the idea of him working on puppet strings and the second being Wagner in a domiating […]

It was auction night at Elevator Cafe last night. I had one piece up for auctioning, my egg which was 33c so it was a long wait until bidding began on it. It went for £30, a loss, but atleast […]

G O N E P O S T A L – You’ve got mail. With the imagined tags “When I think I know, you’ll know” and “I don’t yet know what this is” a picture and some thoughts on mapping […]
Well everything I’ve completed is up! Not sure how I feel about it yet. I thought there’d be more space filled and I don’t know if it feels organic enough either. But there’s plenty of time to adjust it, just […]
